Try the spiciest foods in the world

If you are not into spicy food, then consider trying them. Chillies and spices give the flavour and kick of dishes that are prepared. The other great thing about spicy foods is that they are touted to have health benefits including weight loss, cancer prevention, lower blood pressure and good heart health.

That said, we name some of the spiciest foods you might want to eat. First on the list is vindaloo. The original dish is from Goa, a seaside town in India heavily influenced by the Portuguese.

However, the sauce is spicy made from fresh white cheese, evaporated milk and salt. Aji amarillo or yellow Peruvian pepper give the sauce its burning taste.
